The paper presents a mathematical model describing the water temperature change in a buffer tank. The buffer tank is an integral part of modern greenhouse heating systems. The model includes heat fluxes from the heating boiler, heat fluxes transferred to the greenhouse interior and heat losses from the system (tank, pipes connecting the tank with the heating system). The differential method was used to determine the temperature value in the tank. Verification tests carried out in a real facility showed that the mean square error is 0.14K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
